Owatrol CIP Anti-Rust Primer

Description

Owatrol CIP (Corrosive Inhibiting Primer) is a rust-inhibiting primer. Suitable for finishing with both single and 2-pack paints and finishes. It contains the anti-corrosive properties of Owatrol Oil which enable it to stabilise the surface. It does this by penetrating deep into the substrate, driving out excess moisture and air to form a solid stable layer.

Owatrol CIP is easy to use and does not require sand or shot blasting first. It can be used on new and rusted surfaces – both interior and exterior and can be applied on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Owatrol CIP will not dissolve or break down when even high solvent paints and finishes (urethane, epoxy, chlorinated rubber, synthetic, etc.) are applied to it. It is therefore perfect to use as a primer for 2-pack paints. The brick-red pigmentation also provides enhanced protection and film-forming qualities.

With Owatrol CIP, sand or shot-blasted surfaces do not require immediate priming as a light rust coating will not affect its performance or the final result. The enhanced corrosion protection and strong surface of Owatrol CIP make it perfect for use in extreme climatic conditions such as in the marine environment and in tropical areas. Plus, it has excellent chemical resistance too. Its excellent adhesion means that it also performs exceptionally well on clean, bright steel – typically a difficult surface to coat.

Ideal Uses

• Resisting corrosive fumes
• Protecting motor vehicles
• Avoiding rusting on construction equipment
• Protecting ballast tanks of ships
• Inhibiting rust development on everyday items such as railings and gates
• Perfect protection where a high resistant paint or two-pack finish is necessary
• Priming steel superstructures
• Outstanding adherance on clean bright steel

Preparation

• Surfaces must first be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and other surface contaminants.
• Remove all mill scale; loose and flaking rust and old paint back to a sound surface and edge and feather in any sharp edges.
• Any surfaces exposed to chemicals (acids, alkalis or salt deposits) should be washed using copious amounts of water or steam cleaned.
• Severely contaminated surfaces should be cleaned using an appropriate solvent.

Clean Up

• Clean all tools and equipment with white spirit while still wet. If allowed to dry, remove with paint stripper.
• NOTE: Any rags, steel wool etc. soaked in CIP may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Rags, steel wool etc. must be saturated with water after use or placed in a sealed, water filled metal container, before disposing with household waste.

Things to Remember

• Cover everything you do not wish to paint.
• Apply between 5˚C and 35˚C.
• Do not apply in direct sunlight or on to hot surfaces.
